Also read motodori. Hair tied on top of the
head in a topknot. The same meaning as *houkei
σι where the character σ hou is used as an respectful prefix. However
in practice it appears that motodori is used more widely than houkei to refer to
all hairstyles found on Buddhist figures ; rakei ι (snail hair), suikei
ι (hanging hair), *soukei
oι (double chignon) etc., and to features of the head like the *nikkei
χι (protuberance on head).
